WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Alliance for Retired Americans, a national organization representing three million retirees around the country, today released its annual Congressional Voting Record, and Rep. Adam Schiff received a score of 100% for his commitment to older Americans and his voting record to protect Medicare and Social Security.
"I am proud to receive a 100% from the Alliance for Retired Americans, an organization dedicated to educating seniors and retirees on important issues facing them, such as Medicare and Social Security," said Rep. Schiff. "My voting record reflects my strong commitment to protecting older Americans, keeping prescription drug costs low and preserving Social Security for generations to come."
The 2003 Congressional Voting Record rated Members of the House of Representatives based on ten votes that were important to the health and economic security of seniors, including Medicare, retiree benefits, tax breaks and issues involving family caregivers.
"This Voting Record reflects how committed our elected representatives are to retirees and older Americans. This past session of Congress was a direct assault on the quality of life for retirees," wrote George J. Kourpias, President, and Edward F. Coyle, Executive Director, of the Alliance for Retired Americans in the Voting Record.
Rep. Schiff represents California’s 29th Congressional District, including the communities of Pasadena, Alhambra, Altadena, Burbank, East Pasadena, East San Gabriel, Glendale, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, South Pasadena and Temple City.
